Youth Hostel (The Old Brewery House)

The Old Brewery House, now a youth hostel, is an early 19th-century building located on High Street in Ivinghoe. It is constructed of red brick with some vitreous brick, featuring red quoins and window surrounds. The building has a dentilled brick cornice at the central gable and below the flanking parapets, with concealed two-span slate roofs and rendered chimneys on either side.

The structure is three storeys high and consists of three bays. The outer bays have tripartite sash windows, with the ground floor windows lacking glazing bars. The upper floors of the central bay feature sashes with semi-circular heads, radiating glazing bars, and painted stone impost and key-blocks. All windows are topped with gauged brick heads. The central entrance is a half-glazed door with a semi-circular fanlight adorned with ornamental glazing bars, panelled reveals, and a wooden doorcase topped with an open dentilled pediment supported by slender Doric columns.

To the right, there is a later two-storey extension that includes a parapet and 20th-century paired wooden casements, along with a single-storey bay at the far right. The rear of the building is similar in style but features a straight parapet, altered double doors within a 20th-century porch, and a tall staircase window with a semi-circular head, 'Y' tracery, and coloured marginal glazing.

Inside, the building retains early 19th-century doors, ornamental ceiling cornices, and a staircase with plain square wooden banisters, altered newel posts, and shaped tread ends.
